Exceptional Team, Amazing Food & A Perfect Day!

We had our wedding at Alderley Edge Hotel in November 2025, and from start to finish, the team made everything feel seamless and stress-free.

A special thank you to Lucy, our wedding coordinator, who was incredibly helpful throughout the process. Her communication was excellent, and she made sure everything ran smoothly.

On the day, Andy was fantastic — professional, attentive, and always making sure our guests were well looked after.

The wedding package made planning so much easier, and the food was amazing — so much so that we’ll definitely be back to celebrate our anniversary!

We would happily recommend Alderley Edge Hotel to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with a professional team who will make your day feel special.

Fabulous 1920's celebration in the Willoughby suite.

From beginning to end, we could not fault the attention to detail of the staff. A brilliant venue with it's own private entrance, bar and beautiful sunny garden.
Catering was excellent, as was Anthony the DJ.

Couldn't have asked for a better venue!

We had an excellent experience at Alderley Edge Hotel, where we hosted our wedding in January 2026. The location was great for our guests, many of whom were travelling from around the UK and from elsewhere in the world. The food was delicious, and the support on the day was fantastic - we felt like we could just relax and enjoy our day. Would highly recommend!

The Perfect Day

I cannot begin to express how incredible The Alderley Edge Hotel was. From the first contact you genuinely feel like they want to help you. Nothing was too much for them and all of the staff were genuinely kind people.

Lucy, the Wedding Coordinator was absolutely brilliant and listened to every single request we had. Jordan, the Toastmaster, was absolutely fantastic and all of the reception team went above and beyond to make our special day special.

I could not recommend this venue more!

A Perfect Wedding Experience at Alderley Edge Hotel

We recently celebrated our wedding on 25th May 2025 at The Alderley Edge Hotel, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, Linda, Lucy and the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and attention to detail.
Food: The menu was outstanding—every dish was beautifully presented and tasted incredible. Our guests are still talking about the quality and variety of the food. Dietary requirements were handled seamlessly, which made everyone feel cared for. We catered for Coeliac and Vegan guests.
Service: The service throughout the day was impeccable. Staff were attentive without being intrusive, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Drinks were topped up promptly, and the timing of each course was perfect. The team even managed to hold off the rain until all of photo's were taking in the beautiful gardens.
Professionalism: Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Lucy made it effortless. Communication was clear and timely, and they went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. On the day, everything was organized to perfection, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment.
We couldn’t recommend The Alderley Edge Hotel highly enough for couples looking for a venue that combines elegance, outstanding food, and exceptional service.

Small family wedding

Fantastic venue for our small family wedding. Arranging the wedding from Australia was not easy but the staff at Alderley Edge Hotel were very responsive and attentive to our needs. Having the ceremony and reception, accommodation for guests who were visiting from Australia was ideal. And the garden for drinks and photos was icing on the top. A huge Thank You to all the Alderley Edge Hotel staff.

Wedding Day Friday 15th August 2025 at Alderley Edge Hotel

William and I would like to extend our sincere thanks to Lucy Wade and the entire team at Alderley Edge Hotel for making our wedding day truly unforgettable on a beautiful sunny day on the 15th August 2025.

From our very first visit with Linda Gregory back in November 2024, we felt welcomed and supported. The planning process was seamless thanks to Lucy’s outstanding communication, her prompt emails and reassuring phone calls were especially appreciated as we were organising everything from Essex, with the groom originally from Wilmslow. Her expertise made all the difference.

The food was absolutely lovely, particularly our wedding breakfast. As vegetarians, we were grateful for the thoughtful menu and the care taken during our tasting session. Our guests were equally impressed not only with the food, but with the hotel’s beautiful setting and convenient parking.

Thank you again for helping us create such special memories and we look forward to visiting the hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary!!

Thank you so much - Mr & Mrs Gunshon xxx

Myself and my husband got married at the Alderley edge hotel in July 2025 and it was the most magical and perfect day. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly on the day, Lucy was always there to answer any of my emails and phone calls, the food was exceptional (we still get our guests commenting on this to this day), everything was just perfect. I would tell anyone to go and have a look as a potential wedding venue location!

Event Office Manager

Hello Brides and Grooms-to-be!

I’d love to introduce myself. My name is Lucy, I’m 40 years old and I have been working in the hospitality industry for over 22 years. During that time I’ve gained experience across many areas, giving me a real wealth of knowledge when it comes to weddings and events.

Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of being involved in both planning and running weddings, supporting couples every step of the way right up to their big day. I’ve also been lucky enough to experience it myself, as I’m married too – so I completely understand just how exciting, stressful and sometimes overwhelming wedding planning can feel!

I’m here to help guide and support you from the very beginning of your journey through to the day itself, making the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

My biggest piece of advice? Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life, shared with the people who matter most. The day goes by so quickly, so try to relax, soak up every moment and enjoy it – and leave the stressing to everyone else!

I look forward to being part of your journey.
Lucy
